Re: anti-candida diet summary

[Guest guest]

Reducing carbohydrate intake is key to reducing candida and pathogens; you can

eliminate their feed while increasing the feed for the probiotic bacteria. No

sugar or sweet foods, no starch or starchy foods, no grains or exotic grains

either as all are starch storage vessels, and reduce the sweetest fruit to very

little. The ourome will naturally mean a higher fiber diet with more inulin in

it to feed probiotics, closer to what we evolved on.

You can also choose higher inulin foods and also add around 12-15 grams of

powdered inulin to your diet to get into the ballpark of historic intake of

20-30 grams (prehistoric European and USA figure). At more than 20 grams of

inulin daily there are diminishing returns so 15 grams added inulin is fine. The

rule of thumb is 5 grams per meal; at 5 grams a bump in probiotic numbers was

noted in the research.

Several foods and supplements reduce pathogen numbers in the intestine: coconut

oil and colloidal silver reduce pathogens primarily in the upper intestine

before they are absorbed into the bloodstream; undenatured whey contains several

compounds that reduce many types of pathogens by interfering with their adhesion

to the intestinal lining; d-mannose reduces e.coli adhesion in the urinary tract

and presumably in the bowel; olive leaf extract and a few other extracts are

outright antibacterial.

Here's a primer with references on inulin's role:
